Boat trip in Ghent  

Boat trip II
Do you want to be the captain of your own boat and sail through the waters of Ghent? Maybe you want to take your own picknick basket? You rent it for 45 Euro for 2 persons for 2 hours. I didn't do this myself but it seems like fun. I keep it in mind for next time.
Lindelei 2a, tel.: +32/(0)9/233. 79. 17

Guided walks
You can choose from several guided tours. Even a Pub-crawl belongs to the possibilities (to be booked in advance). The 'normal' guided city walk leads you trough the inner city with the historical buildings and monuments. Subscription and start is at the Belfry.

Wear comfortable shoes in Ghent  

Shoes
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes...avoid high heels. The fact is that the streets of Ghent are paved with large cobblestones ('kinderkopjes'). They are difficult to walk on (high-heeled shoes as well as the stones).
